Leader of the group Andrei Shishko boasted of the combat experience of fighters who “fought throughout the world”.
The Slovenian paramilitary group “Shtirskaya Gvardiya” includes militants who fought on the territory of Ukraine. This was stated by the head of the formation, ex-presidential candidate Andrei Shishko, reports RTVslo.
During the speech to reporters Shishko said that the members of the group have been trained for more than a year. Among them there are former soldiers of the Armed Forces of Slovenia, as well as people with combat experience.
“Among the members of the Shtirskaya Gvardiya there are those who participated in armed conflicts around the world – from Afghanistan to Ukraine,” he said.
The outlet reports that law enforcement officers have already begun checking the incoming data on the activity of the ultra-right formation, but Shishko asserts that most of the police and special services are on his side.
